At MITRE, you can have both. That's because MITRE people are committed to tackling our nation's toughest challenges—and we're committed to the long-term well-being of our employees. MITRE is different from most technology companies. We are a not-for-profit corporation chartered to work for the public interest, with no commercial conflicts to influence what we do. The R&D centers we operate for the government create lasting impact in fields as diverse as cybersecurity, healthcare, aviation, defense, and enterprise transformation. We offer competitive benefits, exceptional professional development opportunities for career growth, and a culture of innovation that embraces adaptability, collaboration, technical excellence, and people in partnership. MITRE is seeking a Wireless Signal Processing Engineer to support the development of advanced wireless communications, sensing, and mission systems for our U.The ideal candidate will have strong analytical skills and experience in both classical digital signal processing/digital communications and machine learning/data science. The candidate should be familiar with state-of-the-art wireless technologies and engineering challenges engineering challenges associated with employment of RF systems in congested, constrained, and contested electromagnetic environments Roles and Responsibilities:This position requires an ability for innovative thought, deep technical expertise, and knowledge of the challenges that will shape the development of cutting-edge resilient wireless solutions for Government Sponsors. Typical projects include:End-to-end modeling and simulation (M&S) of commercial cellular physical layer signals to enable spectrum coexistence innovation;Theoretical analysis for performance assessments of novel geolocation techniques;Next-generation AI-enhanced signal processing design for ISAC or spectral efficiency;Characterize bands under study for repurposing or coexistence with commercial and incumbent systems;Using technical knowledge of communications and signal processing principles to help solve problems across various application areasDesigning models and simulations or lab tests to evaluate technical solutionsDefine appropriate evaluation methodologies to evaluate the compatibility of communication, radar, and navigation systems operating in shared or adjacent frequency bands. Assess the operational impacts of interference on system performance across current and emerging technologies E.g., commercial 6G on government systems Mentoring and staff development of junior engineers, and continued technical growthComprehension of standards documents to inform M&S decision-makingLeading the development and contributing to the develop of project proposals for sponsors and internal research and development (IR&D)Drive research areas, investigate novel solutions, and distill information for varying audiences across internal and external sponsorsBasic Qualifications:Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering or related discipline and 5 years of related experience; or a PhDProficient with MATLAB, Python, or C++ or other tools or languagesA strong technical background in at least two of the following areas:statistical signal processing (detection and estimation theory)waveform design, modulation theory, error control coding, information theorystochastic processes, propagation modeling, channel estimation and equalizationreceiver design and array signal processingMachine learning, AI, and optimization algorithms for waveform design, sensing, and managementsystem performance analysis, link-level simulation, system-level simulationwireless protocols such as 5G NR, LTE, Wi-Fi, IoT, BluetoothExcellent written and oral communication skillsWillingness/passion for mentoring and developing junior engineersExperience delivering technical reports, presentations, and/or code, including definition, completion, and technical qualityThis position requires a Secret ClearancePer the U.This position requires a minimum of 50% hybrid on-site Preferred Qualifications:Master’s degree with 7+ years of professional experience or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related discipline with 3+ years of professional experienceTechnical, task, or project leadership experience in technical innovationFamiliarity with modeling and simulation tools such as Sionna, MATLAB, Simulink, STK, HFSS, CST, Wireless InSite, SEAMCAT, HTZ communications, or similar.
